Hi guys, hope you’re all well.This is a special episode, and the first time I’ve ever re-released a recording but I felt it was the right thing to do.As most of you know and listen to this podcast we recently lost our very good friend Ygor Yuri Dos Santos in late January.What a guy, humble, caring, his passion for our hobby was palpable, that infectious smile we saw when we opened Instagram and saw him doing an ASMR shave or showcasing what’s new and exciting in his den.In this interview you’ll hear how great his knowledge was, the catalyst to becoming a wet shaver and much more.We had a lot in common, I lived in Blarney in Co. Cork for a couple of years in my early twenties and knew his area, Middleton and we’d talk about Ireland a lot. We also shared the passion for watching football and loved hearing his stories on how he went to Sporting Lisbon games, he even was brave enough to go to the Lisbon derby with his dad and brother who are Benfica fans and wear the famous green and white colours with Benfica fans! Again no matter the interest he was so passionate!Ygor this one is for you my friend, we miss you and love you loads!Double Y YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Double-YDouble Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/double_y100/Please donate to Ygor's Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/doubley
